The Moon and Stars of Bal Harbour

When the European minds behind Glam Rock came up with an urban American motif inspired by one of the U.S.’s most upscale neighborhoods – Bal Harbour – the result was a series of watches infused with the animated opulence of its lush surroundings. Watches in the Bal Harbour collection are flamboyant, feminine and representational of the region’s intercontinental lifestyle.

Every Swiss made Glam Rock watch has a glamorous side, but some are pure chic through and through, like the ultra-fashionable model GR77061, a veritable piece of jewelry that combines diamonds, mother of pearl and a sophisticated curb-link bracelet.

While the 40 mm polished stainless steel case positively shimmers, it acts as a simple backdrop for the real star of the show – the celestial dial. At the dial’s center, a round cluster of 46 genuine white pavé diamonds sparkle in unison like a brightly lit moon. Orbiting the diamond cluster is a 24-hour-time track surrounded by natural mother of pearl, over which an additional 11 white diamonds serve as hour markers along with the Glam Rock crown logo at 12 o’clock. The chapter ring at the outside of the dial features small, delicate Roman numerals.

This three-hand watch (hours, minutes and small seconds) is driven by a quartz movement supplied by Swiss-based Ronda. Time adjustments are made by way of the onion-style crown. The stainless steel caseback is decorated, too, with a tortoise-acetate insert that looks good and feels smooth on the wearer’s wrist. Four screws hinge the caseback to the case, while on the front a coated mineral crystal protects the dial.

Many of the watches in the Bal Harbour collection come mounted on leather straps; the GR77061, however, is mounted on a polished stainless steel curb-link bracelet with a deployant buckle clasp. The combination of the gleaming case, dazzling dial and refined bracelet lift this watch to the heights of voguish wrist fashion.

Some Glam Rock watches have designs that take us back in time; others are clearly contemporary; but all of them have glamorous qualities that are dialed in to the most up-to-the-minute global fashion trends – Glam Rock is European luxury for all, right here in America.
